Then you have it set up correctly. I was mistaken. I thought
I saw channels over 100 on card 2 but that was incorrect.

Right.

That's surprising. There may have been some other error in the
data that cause the system to believe that it could not use the
data for source 1 for that day.

Well, it did get 3487 entries for that day but apparently the
data was incorrect in some way so that it could not be used.
Never heard of a problem like this before. I'd chalk it up as
an anomaly unless it happens again.
